My Ex-Wife is So Beautiful

The policemen were shocked, realizing that there were still clues that they hadn’t found in this case.

“Who is Elias Lansdale?” the policeman asked.

Makenna was retrained on her chair, so she couldn’t move her hands or feet.

Besides, so many policemen were watching her. She was overwhelmed by fear.

She knew she couldn’t deny her crime at all. After all, the two video clips were still online.

If she kept denying it, she would have heavier punishments. Hence, when she was taken to the police car, she had decided to tell the police everything honestly.

Meanwhile, she had also prepared to turn in Elias.

Elias was in the same boat as her. He had arranged for the men, the venue, and the equipment. She had only ordered him to do it. Makenna was reluctant to bear the consequences alone.

Elias must go to jail as she would.

Besides, she was Elias’s angel. If she turned him in, he wouldn’t be angry with her.

With that thought, Makenna answered with reddish eyes, “He’s the surgeon of Primary Medical Center. He has found the six men.”

“You guys, go to the hospital and take Elias Lansdale over,” the policeman who interrogated Makenna said to another two policemen.

The latter nodded and left the interrogation room.

Seeing that they went out to arrest Elias, Makenna felt much balanced.

Soon, Elias was taken to the police station.

He didn’t enter the same interrogation room as Makenna. Instead, he was questioned separately.

The policeman interrogating him was one of the two who had taken him over. “Mr. Lansdale, according to Makenna Gardner, you set up Amber Reed together with her. You also hired the six men. Is it true?”

Elias was still wearing the white gown when he was taken over.

Like Makenna, his hands and feet were tied to the chair. However, he didn’t pale in fear like Makenna.

He leaned against the back of the chair and didn’t care about his current situation at all. He answered as calmly as usual, “It’s not true. I didn’t set up Amber Reed or find the six men. I have no grudges with Amber Reed. Why would I have done it?”

The policeman was silent.

It was true. When they were arresting Elias, their coworker in the police station checked Elias’s network and found he had no grudges with Amber at all. They couldn’t find any reason why he would set up Amber.

However, they didn’t think Makenna had lied. After all, she wouldn’t lie to the police for reducing a penalty. Hence, the policemen believed that Elias was lying.

Thinking of that, the policeman spun his pen and asked, “As far as we know, you are close to Makenna Gardner. She hates Amber Reed, so she has set up the latter. You are Makenna Gardner’s close friend. It’s also possible you’ve set up Amber Reed together with her.”

A light reflected from his glasses and disappeared the next second. “You are right. As Makenna’s close friend, I do have the possibility to help her. Do you have any evidence? If not, you are slandering me. I can file a complaint against you, Sir.”

The policeman frowned and kept silent again.

Indeed, they had no evidence.

For a moment, he didn’t know how to deal with Elias.

He scratched his hair and waved to another policeman. “Go ask Captain Hank next door to see if he can get any evidence from Makenna to prove Elias Lansdale is her accomplice.”

“OK.” The policeman glanced at Elias and went next door.

In less than two minutes, he returned and shook his head, meaning there was no evidence.

The policeman questioning Elias didn’t know what to do next.

When arresting Makenna last night, they went through the case but didn’t find any clue relevant to Elias. They didn’t know Elias had been involved in this case until just now when Makenna turned him in just now.

Hence, if Makenna had told them herself, they wouldn’t be able to know Elias was suspicious. However, even they had known there was an accomplice in this case, they couldn’t do anything because they couldn’t find any evidence to prove his crime. Even nor could Makenna, who was the mastermind.

“What should we do now? Shall we continue the interrogation?” asked the policeman who went next door for evidence.

The policeman interrogating Elias stood up, feeling annoyed. “What do you think? Of course not. Let’s go to next door first.”

Then they went out, leaving Elias in the room.

Looking at their backs, Elias had a faint smile.

When Hank saw them enter, he narrowed his eyes. “How did it go?”

The two policemen shook their heads.

Hank wasn’t surprised. He looked over at Makenna. “Ms. Gardner, we’ve just interrogated Elias Lansdale. He didn’t admit that he cooperated with you to set up Amber Reed.”

“What?” Makenna widened her eyes in disbelief. “Didn’t he admit it?”

Hank nodded.

Makenna’s voice became harsh. “Impossible! How could it be?”

She was his angel. He had said he would do everything that she wished to do.

She had turned him in, so he should know she wanted him to come to jail together with her. Why didn’t he admit it?

She wondered if Elias had betrayed her because he didn’t want to go to jail.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Thinking of that, Makenna’s mind was full of hatred. Her face turned ferocious.

‘Liars! All liars!’ her inner voice bellowed.

He had promised to protect her all his life. However, he left her alone and let her bear the consequences herself.

She trusted him so much!

“He lied to you! Elias lied! Don’t believe him!” Makenna roared excitedly.

The policemen looked at her coldly. Hank said, “Of course, we won’t believe him so easily, but we don’t have the evidence to show he’s your accomplice. You also don’t have it, either, do you?”

Makenna was wordless, feeling extremely regretful.

She regretted why she had trusted Elias so much and why she hadn’t recorded her calls to him when asking him to help her.

Otherwise, she would have the evidence to show Elias was her accomplice.

Makenna’s lips trembled. “What will happen to Elias Lansdale without the evidence?” she asked.

“We’ll set him free,” answered Hank.

Makenna’s eye pupils shrank. “What? Set him free?”

“Yes. Without the evidence, we have to set him free. Even if he is really your accomplice, we won’t be able to punish him,” Hank said while looking at her.

They couldn’t do anything. Only evidence talked.

Without the evidence, they had to set the criminal free.

Makenna trembled fiercely. She couldn’t accept this fact at all.

Hank thought for a while and added, “Of course, if we can find the six men who bullied you, and they can show the evidence that Elias Lansdale has hired them, we can convict Elias Lansdale.”

Makenna’s eyes lit up. Gazing at him, she roared, “Hurry up and find them!”

“We’ve been looking for them, but there’s no clue at all. The possibility to find them is small,” Hank said, pressing his hat brim.

Makenna was outraged. “Then why did you mention it?”

“I just wanted to give you a ray of hope,” Hank said indifferently.

Makenna almost fainted in anger.

Hank stood up. “Give her the confession statement to sign. I’ll check up on Elias Lansdale next door.”

“Yes, Hank.”

Hank left and walked to the next door. He met Elias and interrogated Elias. Finally, the result turned out to be the same as what the two policemen had earlier. He set Elias free.

After walking out of the police station, Elias pulled out his cell phone and messaged Amber: “You are right. Makenna Gardner has turned me in.”
